The Grizzly Course is a collaboration between Jack Nicklaus and Desmond Muirhead. Since opening in 1972, this challenging layout has been host to numerous PGA, LPGA, and Senior PGA events. The golf course features long, curvy fairways lined with towering trees and there are strategically placed bunkers throughout. The three final holes feature water hazards, which are also accompanied by a difficult array of bunkers. It offers a fair amount of difficult holes but overall the course is playable for a range of skill levels, which is why it is an appealing layout for tournaments. In addition to the two courses, the Golf Center also boasts an 11,000-square foot putting green and an Academy Course with four championship holes.
Also known as The City of Mason Golf Center - Grizzly Course.

Overall the course is in great shape ..The course is under going many changes and updates..So you might have to play some academy holes in the middle of your round ..once these finish I will play often ..Speed of play was slower then I like ..But maybe course confusion led to that .

Only 5 real holes on the front 9

You play 1 then 4 made up holes then 4 real holes and they change full price of by the way you'll need a car wash from parking in a construction site what a joke

Good shape considering

Course played pretty fast but still had to wait a few times. They are redoing some holes so they took advantage of there extra holes from the academy course. Greens rolled good even though golfer do not like to fix there divets on green. Parking is a work in process long way from cart barn.

Great course

While the course is under restoration, they have access to some temporary holes which adds new dimension to the course and it was in great shape. Staff is some of the best. They are simple one of the most professional and knowledgeable in the golf business.

Under Construction

Course is under construction, but they utilize their Academy 4 holes, so play was very well, except for having to try to figure out which hole was the next one to go to. They had you moving all around the course. Course is in good condition. Some crab grass here and there what they are working on.
